Huawei has been largely driven out of the Western smartphone market by strict US sanctions, but the Chinese technology giant is not giving up. Several months ago, the company launched a 5G smartphone onto the market for the first time since the start of the sanctions, which is now causing a headache for the USA.
China is smart. They have no reason to be dependent on the US. They have a robust and competitive technology sector. They can get their raw materials from Africa, which they’ve been investing in while the US did nothing.
US-China relations have only ‘soured’ in recent years because China has become a legitimate competitor instead of just a factory.
This is why we now see so much FUD centered around Chinese technology. It’s really opened my eyes to how effective propaganda is in getting people to have an opinion on things they know nothing about.
